Well, it has been a while since I last had a chance to post on here – life has been very busy in the last six weeks! First of all, we enjoyed a lovely holiday at Center Parcs with the inlaws when Eve was three weeks old. It was the first time we have gone [...]

We have just returned from another really lovely break at Center Parcs. This time, we wanted to experience the Winter Wonderland they do each year, as the first part of our build-up to Christmas. We had booked plenty of lovely Christmassy activities for Lilly to do, including Christmas pottery painting, a Santa and Snowman hunt [...]

14.5.11 Back in January I wrote a post in which I set out some goals for myself for 2011. I promised that I’d review them every so often to keep on track of how i’m getting on, so here is the first of those tracker posts. 1. Teach Lilly to read - I have bought a set of [...]

Last week we enjoyed another lovely week at Center Parcs – I think this is the fifth time we’ve been in the last three years. For the second time we went to Whinfell Forest, in the Lake District, and were lucky to reap the benefits of the unseasonably sunny and warm first week of spring, in fact [...]

Last week we spent Monday to Friday at Center Parcs in Cumbria – Whinfell Forest. We are big Center Parcs fans, and have been twice to Elveden Forest (East Anglia) and once to Sherwood Forest (Nottingham) since Lilly was 10 months old. This was our first time at Whinfell – Elveden being our favourite so [...]

I’ve been really disappointed with this summer, because when I visualised life with a new baby and Lilly too I thought of spending days in the park and in the garden, playing in the paddling pool and getting loads of fresh air. It hasn’t really worked out like that, has it? Ok, it’s not been [...]

It’s been all go this week with appointments here and there for both girlies. On Monday, Isla had to visit the hospital to have her hips checked. This was a routine appointment for any babies who were breech late into the pregnancy – she was only breach up to 36 weeks and then turned, but [...]

For the last few days I’ve also felt ill at the thought of tea and coffee – something which never happened last time. I know it must be so obvious in work when I’m turning down teas and coffees – usually I’m a caffeine monster – but I don’t really care if people work out what the reason might be – the thought of a cup of coffee makes me feel really sick!
